I have been using Johnson Floor Wax for over 70 years. However, today, Johnson and Bradley had a different experience. I made a mallet for Glenn. I applied the wax as a finish. I was looking at the mallet and while doing so I reached over to the side, placed the lid to the Johnson Wax on the can and pushed it down to close the can. I have a tendency to do two things at once.
Well, being related to Superman, I pushed the lid right on down through the hole into the wax. The lid acted like a king-size ice cream scoop and piled all of the wax on top of the lid, which was now at the bottom of the can.
By Golly I am sure strong for a 119 pound guy.
If someone had taken a movie of that, I would have posted it.
In the enclosed pic, you will notice that I left a proud lump when sawing off the tenon. I used a sharp chisel and pared the lump down to flush so Glenn could stand the mallet on end if he wished. Was there a better way to remove the lump than what I did?
Enjoy,
Jim
